 Section 9.02. Notice of Action. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Article of notice of
the commencement of any action or threatened action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Corporation under this Section, notify the Corporation in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission
so to notify the Corporation will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Article; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give such notice to the Corporation
shall reduce the liability of the Corporation under this Agreement to such party by the amount of damages directly attributable to the failure to give such notice. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the
Corporation of the commencement thereof, the Corporation will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel approved by such indemnified party, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld. Any such indemnified party will reasonably cooperate with the Corporation in any investigation relating to such action, the defense of such action, and any attempts to settle or compromise any such action. After notice from the Corporation
to such indemnified party of its assumption of the defense of any such action, the Corporation will not, except as hereinafter provided, be liable to such indemnified party under this Article for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of 

  

 22 








 
investigation (such costs to be limited to costs of investigating additional and different defenses and costs incurred in cooperating with the Corporation as
specified in the preceding sentence). If the Corporation shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of any such action or if any such indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it
which are different from or additional to those available to the Corporation (in which case the Corporation shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party), legal and other expenses thereafter
reasonably incurred by the indemnified party shall be borne by the Corporation. 
  
 Section 9.03. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 9.01 is due in accordance with its terms, but is
for any reason held by a court to be unavailable from the Corporation, or unenforceable on grounds of public policy or otherwise, the Corporation and the Agent shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including any
investigation, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid, in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Corporation or the
Agent from persons other than the Corporation or the Agent who may also be liable for contribution, such parties hereby agreeing to seek contribution from such persons) to which the Corporation and the Agent may be subject in such proportion so that
the Agent is responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the total fees received by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the related Series of Bonds bear to the maximum principal amount of such Series of Bonds
which are or had been outstanding at any time and the Corporation is responsible for the balance; provided, however, in no case shall the Agent be responsible for any amount in excess of the amount of said fees; and provided, further, that no person
found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation. For the purpose of this Section 9.03, each director, officer, agent and employee of the Agent
and the Corporation, and each person who controls the Agent or the Corporation, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Agent and the Corporation, subject to the provisions in the preceding sentence relating to fraudulent
misrepresentation. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, threatened action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against
another party or parties under this Section 9.03, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from
any other obligation it or they may have otherwise than under this Section 9.03. 
  
 Section 9.04. No Election or Waiver. The rights provided in this Article do not constitute an election of remedies or waiver of any rights which may be available to any party other than as provided
herein should the provisions of this Article or any Section hereof be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, void or unavailable for any reason.
